  2. Body relative direction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_relative_direction

    A non-flipped image of a right-handed Cartesian coordinate system, illustrating the x (right-left), y (forward-backward) and z (up-down) axes relative to a human being.Body relative directions (also known as egocentric coordinates) [1] are geometrical orientations relative to a body such as a human person's body or a road sign.

  3. Anatomical terms of location - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_location

    A male and female human in the standard anatomical position. Because animals can change orientation with respect to their environment, and because appendages like limbs and tentacles can change position with respect to the main body, terms to describe position need to refer to an animal when it is in its standard anatomical position. [1]

  4. Anatomical plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_plane

    An anatomical plane is a hypothetical plane used to transect the body, in order to describe the location of structures or the direction of movements. In human and non-human anatomy, three principal planes are used: The sagittal plane or lateral plane (longitudinal, anteroposterior) is a plane parallel to the sagittal suture. It divides the body ...

  5. Standard anatomical position - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_anatomical_position

    The standard anatomical position in a male and female. In standard anatomical position, the human body is standing erect and at rest. Unlike the situation in other vertebrates, the limbs are placed in positions reminiscent of the supine position imposed on cadavers during autopsy.

  6. Spatial disorientation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_disorientation

    Spatial orientation (the inverse being spatial disorientation, aka spatial-D) is the ability to maintain body orientation and posture in relation to the surrounding environment (physical space) at rest and during motion. Humans have evolved to maintain spatial orientation on the ground.

  7. Coronal plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronal_plane

    For a human, the mid-coronal plane would transect a standing body into two halves (front and back, or anterior and posterior) in an imaginary line that cuts through both shoulders. The description of the coronal plane applies to most animals as well as humans even though humans walk upright and the various planes are usually shown in the ...

  8. Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_neuro...

    The anatomical axes of orientation of the human brain are at odds with the anatomical axes of the human body in the standard anatomical position. Red axis shows how the head bent forward as the back pointed upwards: c: Caudal r: Rostral Yellow axes show the conventions for naming directions in the brain itself: c: Caudal (though not tail ...

  9. Sense of balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense_of_balance

    Balance skill development in children Balance training using medicine balls. The sense of balance or equilibrioception is the perception of balance and spatial orientation. [1] It helps prevent humans and nonhuman animals from falling over when standing or moving.
